Chapter 970: Going to a Meeting Alone
"General, the Dawn that you mobilized earlier has not been completed yet. Oswin and Kusroyi were kicked out of the camp as soon as they arrived. I'm afraid our army will be at a disadvantage!" Durga told Rahul about her concerns with a heavy heart.
"You're right. This is the plan of the Han army. The opponent's command is not simple. Our army revealed a flaw when it moved first, and the opponent seized this flaw!" Rahul nodded, confirming Durga's guess.
"Then, should we temporarily avoid the sharp edge?" Durga suggested hesitantly, "Wouldn't it be better if we wait a little longer?"
"Unless the Han army delays for a while, now is the best time. If they delay any longer, our army's strength will be complete and restored to its peak again. The Han army will not do such a thing. The war will start in these few days." Rahul said calmly.
"This is not something I can decide, but it doesn't matter. The completion of Dawn is just the icing on the cake. The outcome of everything still lies with me and the commander of the Han army!"
Rahul was unusually calm, he saw more things that Durga could not see.
The opponent is forcing him to fight a decisive battle, which also reveals a message that the opponent is confident of winning him.
This made Rahul sneer. There was no such thing as a sure win on the battlefield. Since you want a decisive battle, then just fight directly.
Although Dawn has not yet been completed, we were still , and we can still fight now. Adding icing on the cake will not affect the overall situation.
" There should be a legion in the Han army that can interfere with Peacock. General, this time we may not be able to rely on Peacock." Durga said to Rahul with a serious expression.
"It makes sense!" Rahul shook his head and said, "I, Rahul, did not become famous because of the peacocks. The peacocks are certainly a powerful army of mine, but they are not everything to me."
"Peacock is very useful, but the Han army must have come prepared this time, and they are able to counter Peacock. The Han army has used the tactic of light and shadow distortion very well."
Rahul paused before continuing.
"The Han army's Shesheng Battalion and Changshui Battalion are also beyond-visual-range legions. Peacock can only hit them once at most."
Durga’s face was filled with worry, this was not good news.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Go down and prepare. The battle should start tomorrow!" Rahul smiled and comforted Durga.
Durga looked at the relaxed Rahul, and her anxiety dissipated a lot. As long as Rahul didn't panic, they would know what was going on.
After Durga left, Rahul’s face darkened.
Zhuge Liang's approach was to force him to decide the outcome of a single battle and not give him room to use strategic depth.
He had a good grasp of time and space. Unless he was willing to abandon Oswald and Kusroyi, this battle was unavoidable.
To be honest, he did not regret sending Oswald and others to fight Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei's violent performance proved the correctness of his decision, but he did not expect that the opponent's command would be so radical that he would seize this world and choose to go to war directly.
To be honest, Rahul always believed that the Han army would have the advantage if they dragged on.
The news from Monkhambu informed him that Venga had been lost and the Chola Empire had fallen.
This means that Guan Yu behind them is no longer an isolated force, and the Han army will definitely set out from Wenjia to support Guan Yu.
However, the messenger who was following Guan Yu did not send back any relevant news, proving that the enemy's support had not yet arrived. Logically speaking, Zhuge Liang should have delayed a little longer.
Such an aggressive attack made him feel a little uneasy.
He is not worried about the frontal battlefield, and he also has absolute confidence in himself.
The only thing he was worried about was Guan Yu. "A sharp point behind" was not just an adjective, but the real threat that Guan Yu brought.
"Pass on my order, withdraw all the scouts on the Wang City side, and let the practitioners of the Sky Eye to explore over there. Let the scouts mainly record the perimeter of the front battlefield."
Rahul estimated that the time was almost right. Since the decisive battle would take place today, tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow, the Han army should also make preparations now.
There is no better way than to send more people to keep an eye on Guan Yu.
In this case, we might as well just pretend that Guan Yu doesn't exist and find out the situation on the front battlefield, or at least know how the Han army deploys its troops.
Every bit of intelligence gained about the Han Dynasty could potentially become an accumulation of strength leading to victory.
"It's a pity that there are too few people who learn and possess the ability of clairvoyance." Rahul sighed, feeling quite helpless.
The Kushan system of gods and Buddhas has evolved many abilities, but unfortunately most of them have not been deeply developed, so that now they are somewhat of a last-minute effort.
Moreover, due to the influence of Brahma's death, the clairvoyance is no longer as useful as it used to be, so the Kushans have no good solution and cannot achieve it quickly.
We can only cram for now and take things one step at a time.
The next morning, the sun had just risen into the sky.
"Set off!"
Zhuge Liang adjusted his state and pushed the spiritual talents of Tian Feng and Ju Su to the extreme.
Compared to other abilities, these two's abilities are most suitable for large-scale troop operations. Otherwise, in the battle of Northern Frontier, the two of them would not have been allowed to jointly serve as the commander-in-chief.
Now Zhuge Liang not only has outstanding abilities, but also uses this method to strengthen his command, which can be said to have adjusted his status to the extreme.
"Is this also considered a military formation?"
Liu Bei, who was standing beside Zhuge Liang, looked at the dots of light covering the soldiers and asked curiously, "It feels different from a normal military formation."
"This is the ultimate Xuanxiang. The effect is very simple, which is to adjust the soldiers' condition to the peak!" Zhuge Liang said calmly.
He understood a truth very early on: the basics are the most stable, and all other fancy things are empty.
Rahul on the other side also raised his military formation. The Han army came too quickly, but fortunately he did not harbor any luck and was prepared.
This way, it's a fair fight!
"What should we do next?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang. The other party did not allow him to stimulate his monarchic talents, so he was very curious about what he should do now.
"Wait!" Zhuge Liang said calmly, but his eyes had already looked to the other side.
While Zhuge Liang was watching, Guan Yu was leading his troops forward.
A layer of light and shadow covered their bodies, concealing their figures.
It was normal for light and shadow to cover a legion, but covering an army of this size that was still in motion was something that even the Fifth Skylark could not do.
But for Xu Shu, there is no need to go to that extent. Before the sun rises, many things are blurry and the rest only need to be slightly concealed.
What's more, there is no need to get close enough to touch the opponent's face. This distance is enough for Guan Yu as long as the other party doesn't notice it.
Guan Yu did not do nothing these days. Following Xu Shu's suggestion, they dug a tunnel and took a long detour from underground.
During the confrontation, Guan Yu and his troops personally dug tunnels.
He made a secret move.
As for those practitioners of the clairvoyance, they could not see any sign of Guan Yu at all. Guan Yu used his Green Dragon Crescent Blade to directly cut off all the future observations of their clairvoyance.
In the eyes of these practitioners with clairvoyance, nothing happened, because the future they saw was all cut off by Guan Yu.
If Maudgalyayana had come in person, he would have been able to discover the clues, but he was dealing with Zhang Fei on the other side and had no time to spare.
However, these practitioners of clairvoyance were merely temporary achievers and were totally incapable of discovering problems, so they were completely kept in the dark.
Rahul's strength was too poor after all. He did not understand what it meant to cut off everything with the heart calamity, and subconsciously believed in the clairvoyance that could completely replace the scouts.
Drop all the scouts on the front battlefield, because the clairvoyance cannot observe the army under the clouds, so scouts are still needed to explore.
The clairvoyance itself cannot be observed, but once there is interference from clouds, it is likely that Guan Yu has sent troops.
But the root of everything is that Guan Yu did not use the clouds and directly cut off his own future.
Guan Yu led these 10,000 elite soldiers out of the tunnel and advanced forward in silence. There were inevitable sounds of armor colliding when his soldiers raised their hands and feet, but at this moment, under Xu Shu's cover, no sound was transmitted at all.
The troops they gathered will come here under the leadership of Huang Zhong.
"It seems that we are very lucky. Should we continue to move forward?" Xu Shu looked at the Kushan camp, which was covered by light and shadow. In fact, it was less than 500 steps away from him. This distance was already the limit. If he went forward, he would definitely be exposed.
"No need, just leave the rest to me." Guan Yu opened his half-closed eyes, tightly grasped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in one hand, and the will of the God Breaking World bloomed directly, instantly bringing more than 10,000 people under his command under the coverage of his will.
This is the path of divine commander that he and Bai Qi learned. According to Bai Qi, he is the only officer in the world who can inherit this path.
The threshold for the path of divine cultivation is too high. It is difficult to get started, master, and even though one can restrain the Qi command system, that is something that only those below the God of War can do.
It is hard to say who is stronger or weaker between him and Han Xin; they are both equally matched.
So they also understood why Wei Qing finally passed down the cloud energy as the inheritance. It was because cloud energy was easy to get started with and it was easy to form combat effectiveness.
But for Guan Yu and others now, the advantages of the divine command system can be perfectly brought into play.
Guan Yu's will burst out with brilliant green light and transformed into a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in the sky, slashing towards the Rahul camp covered in clouds opposite.
There was no roar or explosion, only the mighty power of heaven, which burst out from Guan Yu's army like an explosion.
"Rahul, here I come!" Guan Yu's voice, cold but with absolute majesty, spread in all directions. His mighty momentum covered the universe like the collapse of the Milky Way.
"How is this possible..." Rahul was startled reflexively, but he calmly understood what happened.
"Traveling lightly and attending a meeting alone, the Galan God Guan Yu is truly admirable!" Rahul's face was gloomy.
"Nilanjan, take people to stop the Galan God. No one-on-one fights are allowed. Only legion battles are allowed!"
However, despite his admiration, Rahul knew that he was in real trouble this time. Guan Yu's attack on the camp was just a feint, and the real killer move was still on the front battlefield.
However, Guan Yu's move dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Kushans.
The Kushan soldiers could not see the overall situation. They only felt that they were being attacked from both sides. This was extremely bad news.
"March!" Zhuge Liang gave the order for the entire army to attack.
Pang Tong and Xu Shu are indeed among the wisest men in the world. They had made great contributions to the Han army before the war even started.
Whether it was Pang Tong's luring the enemy or Xu Shu's fierce attack, both affected the battle situation and made the balance of victory begin to tip towards the Han Dynasty.
The victory of the war must have three-quarters of the credit given to these two.
"Benevolence is unmatched!"
Liu Bei drew out his double-edged sword and, without Zhuge Liang's reminder, directly stimulated his monarch talent to the extreme, which greatly reduced the consumption of all the officers.
Guan Yu, who was charging into the camp, curled up a smile. Liu Bei's power was bestowed on him. It was a good feeling that he was not fighting alone.
"Hahaha, just in time!" Rahul said with a relaxed laugh. The Han Dynasty brought many surprises, but it was still a thousand years too early to win like this.
"Durga, Kailash, lead the army to the back and be prepared to block Guan Yu head-on. The rest of you will follow me to face the enemy head-on. If you want to attack me, Rahul, from both sides, I want to see how capable you are!"
Guan Yu used a legion attack to break through the Kushan camp wall where the defense was weak. The cloud-solidified road was directly laid out, and then he took the lead and rushed in through the gap.
"Shoot!"
Uriel, who was guarding the front line, felt his scalp tingle when he saw the red-faced warrior rushing out of the crack. Uriel, who was originally preparing to rush up to block the attack, decisively gave up the idea of leading his troops to counterattack. He had seen Guan Yu's divine power, and that was not something he could deal with.
A rain of arrows burst out, but this was the weak point of defense that Guan Yu had observed earlier. Even with the rain of arrows to suppress it, the relatively weak force was completely unable to hold back the Han army , especially since Guan Yu led the charge and quickly cut a gap in the opponent's defense line before it was deployed.
"God Galan, you can't take another step unless you step over our dead bodies!"
Niranjan led the Pato Squadron and hurried back. Rahul had arranged him on this side early in the morning to guard against Guan Yu.
"Then go to hell!"
Guan Yu did not hesitate at all. He swung the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand and struck the man on the head with the sword.
Niranjan was scared to death. He had been defending the city all along and had never really faced Guan Yu. He didn't expect him to be so ferocious.
"clang!"
"God Galan, we meet again!" The old man who had once given Guan Yu hints appeared in front of Guan Yu and blocked Guan Yu's attack.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the one who visualizes Brahma and replaces Brahma, and I call myself Mahabrahma!" The old man saluted, but Guan Yu only felt infinite danger.
He could once kill an old man with just one blow, but now he has become so terrifying that I’m afraid his strength is not inferior to his.
